This page is missing from its own sitemap

11.6%

of the 3,044 free scans considered in the last 30 days raised this finding. That is 354 scans across 348 distinct sites. 95% interval 8.7% to 15.4%.

What it means

A sitemap that omits real pages makes them harder to discover, especially ones with few internal links pointing at them.

How to fix it

Add the page to your sitemap.xml, or fix the generator that skipped it. Every URL you want indexed should appear exactly once, with a lastmod you actually update.

How to check it yourself

Open example.com/sitemap.xml and search for this page's exact URL. If it does not appear, the page is missing from the sitemap.

What fixed looks like

The page's URL appears exactly once in sitemap.xml, with a lastmod you keep current.

How we measured this

Go Voltic scans a site and records which findings it raises. The share above is over every free four-page scan in the last 30 days that loaded at least one page, which is 3,044 scans. Deep scans of paid reports and of the research sweep read a site at a different depth and are a separate population, never in this denominator. It is not a survey and it is not an estimate: it is a count of what our own scanner found. Sites are counted once each in the distinct-sites figure, so a site scanned twice does not weigh double there.

The interval is a 95% Wilson interval. A share printed without its sample size reads as certainty and is indistinguishable from a guess, so both are always shown. Figures on this page were computed on 2026-09-08.

The same share sits beside every other finding on the benchmarks page, which also carries the whole table as CSV and JSON and says how to cite it.

Check your own site

The free scan reads four pages and reports every finding it raises, including this one. It takes about ten seconds and asks for nothing but the address.
